President Joe Biden on Record Decrease in Crime in First Half of 2024

Washington, DC...When Vice President Harris and I took office, our nation had just seen the largest increase in murders ever recorded during the previous Administration. Immediately, we got to work to make communities safer. Today, new data confirms that our efforts are working and violent crime is at a 50-year low. An independent organization of police chiefs from across our nation’s biggest cities released data showing that violent crime fell across every category in the first half of 2024. Homicides are down 17% – building on the largest-ever decline in the homicide rate nationally last year.





This did not happen by accident. Our American Rescue Plan – opposed by every Republican in Congress – delivered $15 billion to cities and states to invest in public safety and violence prevention, keeping cops on the beat while working with community leaders to interrupt and prevent crime. I also signed the most significant gun violence legislation in nearly 30 years which is keeping guns out of dangerous hands by expanding background checks and helping states implement “red flag” laws.

Americans are safer today than when Vice President Harris and I took office. We can’t stop now. That’s why I will continue to urge Congress to fund 100,000 additional police officers and crime prevention and community violence intervention programs, and make commonsense gun safety reforms such as a ban on assault weapons.

The unsolved homicide rate is over 55 percent in six cities: Chicago, Buffalo, Baltimore, Detroit, New Orleans, and Stockton.

So, the left will even gaslight you on death and destruction. If you stop prosecuting real crime people won't even report it. If you stop prosecuting real crimes why will the police waste their time and even make arrests?

The left's unhuman death cult will even lie to you about murder and death.

Drain the swamp or our country is doomed.

      Talk about crime, here's a good one.....
      David Dempsey spent January 6th kicking a cop's head in, and beating other law enforcement officers with flag poles and a metal crutch.
      Multiple, multiple, violent felony assaults on officers of the law.
      For that, Mr. Dempsey has just been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
      Donald Trump hopes to get elected in November and immediately release Mr. Dempsey in January 2025.

        Of course he should be punished. How about the majority of actual murderers in many Dem run cities that are never punished???

        And the the White House gaslights the public and says see, we cooked the books and made you look safer.

        You should thank us!!

                  Read the 350 pages of project 2025, a blueprint of ending freedom ,rights , Democracy for all. The con don is all in on this.

                  The gop is antiAmerica, Democracy. Fox is lying to you.
                  The billionaires are the gop, they are not for you unless you're a billionaire, are you?

                    The Biden administration has many great improvements for Americans, unlike the con don , who has been the enemy of Democracies around the world.

                    On crime, the economy, environment, health care costs,infastructure and much more.

                    Compared to the fraud con don, one of the greatest in US modern history.

                    The now back to orange terd loves anti democracy dictators, Un, Putin,Orban, Modi, and others so called "strong" men. No, they are murdering dictators.

                    So you prefer murdering dictators over Democracy? Sad.

                      Your old playbook of oppressed and oppressors will no longer work on us. You are the oppressors now. Your evil endgame to destroy this country will not work. You may have finally taken the UK but you will not take us.

                      Remember in the French Revolution those who wielded the guillotine were eventually guillotined themselves.

                      You can't help people as you have no real skills to help them with. Taking from others in the name of whatever cause you make up to take power will no longer work.

                      Leave your govt job. Go get a real job or start a business and actually make your life better.

                          This is how the Nazi’s talked. The minute you start to dehumanize (unhuman) others, you are going down the bad path. Every.Single.Time.

                          The democrats want you to have health care and social security, it’s not scary.

                    The GOP for better or worse is the last chance for this country. The far left will burn our entire history down and with it the inalienable rights we have fought and died for. If you truly care about this country even if you hate Trump he is what we have. Voting for Kamala is national suicide.

          Who do you think you are kidding Jethro?

          Donald Trump with 34 felony convictions himself has promised at least 5 times, and continues to promise all those violent, convicted, cop beaters; freedom if he is elected.
          And Trump IS proud of that!

          Which means, you can be proud of it too.
          So stop shoveling us your " of course they should be punished" BS.

            Maybe Willie can recall the fact that Don's DC speech outdrew MLK in his great speech.

            E.B.C. Economy, borders, crime. That's the important stuff, not that you don't like what Trump says. Biden has failed on every aspect of what the American people really want. Now, with Kamala and Tampon Tim they are ready to totally destroy this country. She was against fracking before she was for it and wanted to defund the police before supposedly supporting them and call our border agents KKK members. Is that the kind of support you want from elected leaders?

              It's easy to keep the crime rate down, just catch and release without charges!!! Another sure fire method is to reduce all charges to misdemeanors!

                This old man has been making the same false claims ever since he stole the office. Everything during Trump's presidency was horrible until our savior, Bernie was ordained.
